low pH problems
Grrrowerstarted grow question 4 years ago
I discovered that I had irrigated with water at pH 3.5 for at least 5 days.
yesterday I used water at pH 5.7 and today I think it will increase to 6, but I noticed that burns are already starting to appear so should I continue like this and hope for the best or do a root wash?

I think the only way to know is to check the runoff when watering and see what PH it gives you.. if it's in an ok range, then just leave it (don't try to compensate), as the damage was done and you don't want to push it the other direction, possibly making it worse.. the marks on the leaves will not recover, but check the new growth to ensure that this is fine moving forward.
If you're in soil, i'd rather err on the higher side, so around 6.3, as 5.7/5.8 is more for hydroponics..

Hi I would flush the whole thing to make sure :-). Adjust the Ph and Ec value of the water and rinse it :-) to luck you have it right on time :-)

damage was done, so you could expect some minor burning. As long as you adjust the ph, all should be grand. In soil growing the pH is getting alkaline with the drying of the soil between watering. That is why you have to water well until you get a run off in the tray, to flush out the alkalinity from the middle of the root ball. Don't get over stressed about the pH in the water or to have it at just the right value. Plant will do just fine with water pH 7.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago

Yellow leaf tips in flowerShe's pretty far into flower, in DWC, and the environment and nutrient schedule have stayed consistent for a while now. I'm using GH Flora Trio at 5ml of Micro, 2.5ml of Gro, and 7.5ml of Bloom per gallon.
The leaf tips are looking burnt, should I ease off on nutrients or what?
